Multiple USSR tennis champion Olga Morozova told that her victory over Alex de Minaur during the fourth round match of the Australian Open Andrei Rublev through various games.
On Sunday, fifth-seeded Rublev defeated 10th-seeded De Minaur in five sets with a score of 6:4, 6:7 (5:7), 6:7 (4:7), 6: 3, 6:0. The meeting lasted 4 hours and 14 minutes. In the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, the Russian will meet the fourth racket in the world, the Italian Jannik Sinner.
— I would like to congratulate Andrei on his victory. In this match he showed that he could play in different ways: he changed the rhythm, took breaks. Sometimes it is very difficult to change the style of play during important matches of Grand Slam tournaments, but Andrei managed to do it.
— Rublev was very nervous during the match. Did his emotions help him or on the contrary did they drag the match into five sets?
— In previous matches, Rublev was very calm, but that also requires energy! Sometimes you have to let off steam. I hope that Andrey, together with his coach, will find the right solution that will allow him to go as far as possible.
— Sinner awaits Rublev in the quarter-finals…
— I think Karen Khachanov will tell Andrey how to play with him. Rublev will probably watch their match and draw certain conclusions. The Russian has a good team, they know how to prepare him for the match. Sinner is in great shape. You can see that the Italian played his first matches at the Australian Open much cleaner and made fewer mistakes. After all, it’s the second week of the slam and serious rivals are making their presence felt. One of Sinner’s coaches is Australian (Darren Cahill – around ), this gives a very big advantage as he knows a lot about Australian rules football. It will be an interesting match, Rublev of course has a chance,” Morozova told .
